A quick look at the top 10 offers a glimpse at how well the Capital Region does in attracting the big-name stars.

Bon Jovi tops the list, with $201.1 million, and the band hit SPAC this summer, and the next act in the top 10 to come to the region in 2010 is … nobody.

However, No. 2 – AC/DC, No. 5 Metallica and No. 7 Walking With Dinosaurs all came to the Capital Region (at the Times Union Center in Albany) in 2009. Check out the list of the top 10, and make your own joke about how most of the acts of long-running rockers fit perfectly with Walking With Dinosaurs.
